Trauma Healing Therapy


Searching for psychologist trauma therapy? Trauma, whether stemming from a single distressing event (PTSD) or from prolonged, repeated exposure to harm (Complex Trauma), deeply impacts an individual’s psyche, often leaving enduring imprints on their emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being. Such experiences can lead to feelings of separation, overwhelming emotions, and a persistent sense of danger, even in safe environments. Drawing from foundational teachings that emphasize the profound effects of trauma on the brain and body, we recognize that healing requires more than just talking about the traumatic events. At Atlantic Mental Health, our approach is trauma-informed, meaning we prioritize creating a caring and nurturing environment where clients can begin to process their experiences at their own pace. Through tailored interventions, we aim to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, challenge and transform trauma-related beliefs, and ultimately regain control, allowing them to feel fully present and alive in their lives once more.
